Van Halen: The band made its mark as one of rock's great bands, thanks to frontman David Lee Roth's stage presence and Eddie Van Halen's guitar playing. But soon Roth became a solo star, Eddie had substance issues and fights over the band's creative direction were on the rise. Roth left the band after their 1984 tour. Roth and Van Halen would reunite again over the years, including an ill-advised reunion on the MTV VMAs in 1996 that reportedly had Eddie Van Halen and Roth threatening each other, and a permanent reunion in 2007.
